One in our prayers that you will return safely to Earth. - To Neil Armstrong after he landed successfully on the

We could not get on without her, and indeed, having paid lip-service to God's opinion, we must admit that we greatly prefer her, for Martha was doing a really feminine job, whereas Mary was just behaving like any other disciple; and that is a hard pill to swallow.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/7310</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I talk of cheese, you of chalk. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/48959]]></link><description><![CDATA[I talk of cheese, you of chalk.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/48959</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Common sense is instinct.
